Description
Springer SystemC From the Ground Up Second Edition by David C. Black, Jack Donovan, Bill Bunton, Anna Keist
SystemC provides a robust set of extensions to the C++ language that enables rapid development of complex models of hardware and software systems. The authors focus on practical use of the language for modeling real systems, showing:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_A step-by-step build-up of syntax_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Code examples for each concept_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Over 8000 lines of downloadable code examples_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Updates to reflect the SystemC standard, IEEE 1666_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Why features are as they are_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Many resource references_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_How SystemC fits into an ESL methodology_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_This new edition of an industry best seller is updated to reflect the standardization of SystemC as IEEE 1666 and other improvements that reflect feedback from readers of the first edition. The wide ranging feedback also include suggestions from editors of the Japanese and Korean language translations, professors and students, and computer engineers from a broad industrial and geographical spectrum, all who have successfully used the first edition. _x000D__x000D__x000D_New chapters have been added on the SystemC Verification Library and the Transaction Level Modeling, and proposed changes to the current SystemC standard. _x000D__x000D__x000D_David Black and Jack Donovan, well known consultants in the EDA industry, have teamed with Bill Bunton and Anna Keist, experienced SystemC modeling engineers, to write the second edition of this highly popular classic. As a team the authors bring over 100 years of ASIC and system design experience together to make a very readable introduction to SystemC._x000D_ Table of contents : - _x000D_
